Why is literacy at home important?
According to a report by the US Department of
Education, "Many of the same children who
struggle with early reading will not complete high school, and may experience behavior problems,
depression, and low self-esteem. Good reading
skills translate directly into good language skills and critical thinking, both vital for better learning and job performance later in life."
